It was very thoughtful for all those squads to bring all that gear they found directly to you. If you remember, how much damage did you end up doing?

I'm wondering because I am trying to figure out how people get that 4k damage badge. I'll probably never get it because I'm pretty a cautious player and only push when I'm sure of an advantage. Obviously you have to be fighting constantly and continually for the entire match, but I've had games like that and only ended up with barely 2k. It sounds exhausting.

Rushing the last bits of A&D event we had almost a 10 minute crossfire on a far edge of the ring on containment, it was a wattson lifeline bh vs wattson lifeline gibby afair. The ring was generous and centering towards us and the bunker, so we continued shooting and creeping towards bunker from first minutes of the game till last 3 teams. The last team 3rd partied our dear adversaries from behind so we won by killing off the last remaining loba from 3rd team. In the end we had ~2k damage each in our team, multiple headshot badges and long range kills. Only time I truly regretted not having obs on. I imagine someone with better skills and aim could have done far more damage and killed more people in these circumstances.

I had a special fun type of game today, my teammates pinged a group to the building to our left that were shooting right, pinged a group in the buildings to our right that were fighting left, and then ran right into the middle. It's the rare self-pinch, you love to see it.

Are you playing ranked? Because that's what ranked bronze 4-1 consists of.

Was jumpmaster, we decided to go for the train.

One squad member (Pathfinder) peeled off and went for where the train is, I aimed on the other side of a tunnel for where the train was going to be. Two of us got on the train, the Pathfinder did not, called me a "pro jumpmaster" and then disconnected. It wasn't even a big distance to close, and we were all alive and safe.

If you solo off and totally miss the drop area then it's really Your Own drat Fault.

Please, take the L-Star from us, Respawn

LStar shreds, throw an LMG to pair it with and you can mow down squads

I actually kinda like the lstar. The trick is to put a 2x4 on it.

I'm not even kidding it zooms you past the ridiculous muzzle flash.
That's a nice note thanks
Other fun part of LStar is that red balls do distract people and clutter the overview of the battle. The closer the target the better

Someone @ me when if respawn will make a small hitbox male or a big hitbox woman so I can @ the guys over in eft thread and tell them they are finally right.

Man I just cannot find my stroke in ranked, just slowly grinding through gold instead of big chunks like the other seasons

Realistically speaking what percentage of wraith players are shitters
On my region it's definitely disproportionately higher than other characters but I don't know if its over 50%, it's frequent enough that I expect it so maybe

In pubs more than 50% definitely (judging by ~200 matches this season). But when they are not, they do play really well so it's a gamble.
Ranked is way better in this case, the farther you go the more focused on the team people are and tend to pick a combo to support first picks. But hey after D3 pubs are bad.

Wattson.

Ultimate accelerants are a must, you can easily deflect any bombardment or grenade etc with your ult. Fences are 'enemy routing' devices plus detection. You can basically hold a building forever and route enemies to where you want them to come, all while having your shields recharge. Great sniper too btw.

On World's Edge it's more important to rotate early and play the circle, as opposed to King's Canyon where it's mostly about your ability to team fight (a.k.a. 3rd and 4th partying lol). World's Edge is a much bigger map so rotating slow tends to put you in bad positions more often. Sometimes you just have to deal with a sub-optimal loadout in order to hold good spots in the circle and gate-keep teams rotating late for kill points. The higher you get in the ranks the more important placement becomes so try and focus on that while getting your kills on late game 3rd parties.

Other than that, since I haven't seen you play, it's hard to tell where you're going wrong. Try your best to take unfair fights where you have a clear advantage over another team and don't push fights that are even or where you're at a positional disadvantage. Learning what fights those are can be tricky but just think about what went wrong in fights you lose, or why you won a particular fight and you'll learn pretty quick.

Good luck :cheers:

Most wins and successful games I had on WE is when I land in a most distant corner away from lane like Lava City (love the place ngl) or trials/refinery when everyone reaches only as far as sorting.
Walking from there till the circle is a easier a lot of time, just shooting people in the back, shooting people who are healing, 3rd partying :D
But again I'm bad at this game with ~130hrs in it, 50 of them back on release weeks, so Im just starting all over again and only playing rankeds

Anyone who is on the fence because of some 'magical' tryhard sweatlords in TF2 should be aware that apex teaches you like 25% of the movements needed for tf2.
Just beating the campaign adds 30% more. With that you can be on par with sweaty tryhards, albeit inconsistently, and can progress easily in MP.
And MP is glorious.

Edit: bro I can’t even with these quitters. The quitters that leave as soon as you start the execute in skulltown are great but when your squad mates quit immediately after being downed are the loving worst. Even had my friend quit on me after I WON the fight he died in.

You don't get a death to your stat if you quit while downed or in process of being executed

Ok, so parallel realities are real and discoverable in Titanfall canon, and Wraith's entire powerset is built around navigating them. Perhaps the mysterious "respawn" tech they dance around is pulling another version of the Legend out from a 99.99999% similar parallel dimension to keep fighting?

Respawn is based on regeneration tech from tf2.

SBMM is good for 2-team based games, like cs, wot, r6. But in a game where you have essentially 20 sides with instant mm where one premade team can easily get in same match with another premade team of friends it sucks balls.
IMO it should prioritize pings, team comps (for a more diverse play) rather than some arbitrary stat like wins or k/d. For example my k/d sucks and is below 1 always but I play supports mainly and do damage. Winrate is about 5%, top5 is over 30%. What can it say to the sbmm? It can say that I can and should carry which I don't want to. Just gimme a good killer team and I'll make sure they're all alive and their asses fenced and covered but no, gently caress teamplayers rite
